In the year of AI slop it's lovely to see RTE Guide supporting talented local artists! I'll be picking up a copy this year. I don't watch much live TV anymore but it gives me ideas for films and shows to check out.
I was absolutely over the moon to get to illustrate this years Christmas RTÉ Guide 🎄✨
Christmas is one of my favorite things to paint, the cosiness, the warmth and magic of it all is exactly what I love to bring to my illustrations.
Huge thanks to Catherine and all at The RTÉ Guide 💛

I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

This is the rage of the far right-in a spoiled ballot paper.

Remember voting for Jim Gavin doesn't spoil your vote, but if he gets 12.5% or more then Fianna Fáil gets €250,000 of your taxes given to them as election expenses.
Don't protest vote by giving the government party your money. #speirgorm

Collective Punishment is illegal under the Geneva Convention.
Israel has announced that it will cut the flow of aid to Gaza by half as Hamas failed to return all the bodies of the remaining hostages in time.
Hamas and the Red Cross have said that retrieving the bodies is difficult due to the widespread destruction.
